Not to be rude, but this review kind of sucks. The Staub is a thicker pot and has a dark-colored interior. This thickness will take longer to heat up but retain heat better. The color will also contribute to additional heat retention. The review attributes Le Creuset's liquid retention to its lid, when in reality, it was actually just cooking at a lower temperature. When comparing these two products, you need to let the reader know what each product does best. However, this is probably impossible for this reviewer because they don't know how to test them properly. Answer from thelastsonofmars on reddit.com

We tested Le Creuset against Staub to find the best Dutch oven. Le Creuset won, but honestly, you can't go wrong with either. What's your favorite?

October 1, 2024Which is more durable as a Dutch Oven: Le Creuset or Staub?
I have dutch ovens from both Le Creuset and Staub. You can’t go wrong with either, and it comes down to your preference. There are some things that Staub does better than Le Creuset and vice versa.
The enameled exteriors are of equal quality IMO. However, LC seems to have a wider variety of colors.
I prefer the Staub lids over LC’s because of the little bumps inside, which self bastes whatever you’re cooking.
I also think it’s easier to clean Staub’s black enamel interiors, and allow a patina to form, similar to any cast iron cooking vessel. You don’t have to worry about staining the inside. On the other hand, I like Le Creuset’s light interior. It is easier to see how things are browning.
FYI, around Thanksgiving, Staub puts a few colors of their 4 qt DO on sale for $99. I’m not sure if this deal is available outside of the US nor can I confirm that they’re doing the same sale again this year.

October 1, 2024 - Light colored enamel (vs dark enamel on the Staub): Easier to see and monitor fond developing on the bottom of the pan ... There is the overall quality of the Le Creuset, but hard to say how much that matters since it seems like a cheap Lodge Dutch oven will also last forever.

Staub Vs Le Creuset: Which Is Better? | Bon Appétit
August 8, 2025 - Staub Dutch ovens (or cocottes, as the brand prefers to call them) are slightly heavier than Le Creusets—the 5.5-quart Staub had about a pound on the Le Creuset—but are still lighter than most other similarly sized Dutch ovens.

Cast iron Dutch ovens. To Staub or to Le Crueset? - Page 3 - ChefKnivesToGo Old Forum Site
Decided on the Staub. Both are very nice, but the Staub just seems more robust. I also like the dark enamel on the inside, I have seen many of the le cruesent models with the white enamel horribly burnt.

The Staub Cocotte Is the Best Dutch Oven You Can Buy
January 22, 2025 - I’ve used enameled Dutch ovens my whole life, and nothing compares to Staub’s 4-Quart Cocotte. I’ve learned there’s a reason pro chefs prefer Staub — its versatile cookware is built to last and is superior for braising, blanching, and baking.

This French Cocotte Is So Much Better than My Dutch Oven
September 7, 2023 - While the price tag is hefty ($389.99 at the time of writing), it’s comparable to an enameled Dutch oven of the same size. If you have the budget and are interested in expanding your roster of enameled pots, you won’t regret getting a Staub Tall Cocotte of your own.
